I know this is beating a dead horse, and I apologize up front, but after wearing Green Irish Tweed yesterday and enjoying it more than I remembered, it caused me to wonder again about the similarity with Cool Water. I know there are hundreds of comments on record that the two are virtually the same, and a few that disagree. This morning while out with my wife, I picked up a bottle of Cool Water and sprayed one wrist with Cool Water and the other with Green Irish Tweed. The old side-by-side comparison.
So after an hour, I have to say the two are similar, but definitely not the same. And remember, my nose isn't that sensitive, but the GIT seems stronger, and it has a much more noticeable sharp, almost tart green coniferous note. The Cool Water seems softer and more mellow relative to the GIT.
I'm not saying one is better than the other, as I think there would be good reason for a person to prefer either one. Of course, they are not priced the same, and it could be that a person would want the much less expensive Cool Water for "everyday wear", and the much more expensive GIT for special occasions. And some would only ever want one or the other, and some would never want either. All I'm saying is, they are similar but not identical.
